To clarify, I was meaning, meet us there as in meet us in the hotel. I still think we should all go up. If you'd like I can call a contact and see about getting us a new ride like you suggested earlier.

Oh and considering the location, Silas' sense of security proceedures hopes that he'd have some air support to get him to the roof or something because he can spot multiple disguised security measures in the lobby.

I think that depends.. if the four from inside walk, Eclipse is going to try and spot the tail. Depending on how many of them there are, it might be worth it to take care of... :O Either way!

Perception 7d6.hits(5)=3
Shadowing 8d6.hits(5)=5
Hot damn! I'm sneaky, apparently!

So, if I spot them I'll follow for a bit until I see how many and I'll send out an IC post that way. If not, Eclipse will head to the hotel and scout it out, looking for suspicious things... like black CIA vans across the street with tinted windows and/or people inside.

Congrats! I'd say a honeymoon definitely exempts you from silly things like NerdGames.

I don't think this one has been made, I'll watch for a tail, but think they have seen your faces and expect you to return to a vehicle.

Having walked we avoided that.

getting into the hotel with adequate defense options is going to be difficult,

So I'm happy to wait outside.. BUT am also happy to try and find a back entrance to sneak into, it's late... past prime kitchen hours so I don't expect to bump into a whole load of staff, but the van is tooled up with all the gear OR TW and Eclipse are going to get scanned and refused

WHoo! My ceramic pistol might actually be worth something! Take that, MAD Scanners!

I've edited my previous post, You guys will be allowed inside with normal weapons. Not the LMG though.

Are we? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (Click me!)

but ..... but ......but....... aaaaaaw (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Click me back

Because you are looking for it and they don't know to hide their actions from you. I'll say you notice a couple of guys getting out of one car in the parking lot to start heading in the same direction as the team, and a moment later another person gets out of the passenger side of a different car and does the same.

Oh My God. I'm glad nobody is sitting around me right now, because I totally had to laugh at that pic. Are you sure you don't want to stay in the clown makeup and then stay with the van and LMG as backup? lol

Hrm... three people is a short burst each. That's an average of 12 damage each without them dodging, probably get them before they get to react and then again on initiative. Yeah, Eclipse'll follow them, looking for a secluded area.

<<want me 2 take puppy 2 vet and cut off its tail? cuter that way>>

Fair warning, this is at least AA level security area with drone patrols, beat cops, and what not in the area. Gun fire is going to attract attention.

Silenced weapon with subsonic rounds is either -7 or -8 to be overheard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Shouldn't be that many people with 9 dice in perception (hearing) !

Edit: It's -8. -6 from the integral suppressor, -2 from the ammo. (Arsenal 153 & 35)

A body trail is still a trail, and one that makes people want to come after you wiith more firepower.

Just give us a heads up and follow them to watch our backs if you can, I guess.


Slacker, while we are walking I will keep an eye out for something that we could go through to block people following us. Something like a door or gate we could go through and then close behind us...

There is that. So, is that the plan then? the main group of team is heading up Pike street they've got 3 people pursuing them (not all in a tight group by the way, they are professionals, the first two might stay sort of close together, but the other guy is several meters behind them and acting like he doesn't know them at all....almost as if he were tailing them rather than being with them).

oh we are so boned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

keep walking, we have a thousand yards to formulate a plan and communicate etc.

how fixed are you on the whole team attending this meet ? I think I have a slightly improved idea

**IDEA EDIT**

try and draw off the tails Gardner, have a meeting with a hobo in a park somewhere,

meanwhile Eclipse is backing you up,

then if TW & Mr White can slip away and meet Laurant, while Needle and I provide ground support. either picking you up in the van or covering VR for White etc.

we have a much better chance of getting away alive

Craaaap...

This is a bustling part of downtown, lots of businesses you guys could go into to try to lose them in (Paris Grocerty, Highway 99 Blues Club, ZigZag Cafe, Pike Pub and Brewery - they've got some great homebrews there and their fish-n-chips are amazing, etc.). there are a few dark alleys you could detour down, but not ones with gates or doors that would be conveniently open/unlocked for you that you could close/lock behind you.

i guess I'll be in AR while we drive to the meet, scanning for anything that may come up.

I had a thought about logging on to someone's commlink. Would I be limited to their Response and such if I run programs? If so, sitting in the van is no longer an option.

The guy is obviously tailing somebody, so are the two people a few meters ahead of him. That's all you can tell from 2 hits.

I'm game for whatever, thought I will place a vote against murdering our tails. This is shadowrun. People follow us. People follow the people following us. People follow those people. At some point, we realize that we're the ones following the ones who are following the ones who are following us. Its a god damn snake eating it's tail. Fuckin' Shadowrun.

A tail is relatively harmless. I'm happy with trying to lose it, or just ignoring it.

Yeah... We'll try to lose the tail, but if it happens it happens. Let's keep things moving forward.

Everybody that is trying to lose a tail, give me either and Infiltration or Shadowing roll and tell me how you guys are trying to do this. All at once together? All at once everybody goes their separate way (in which case, who's taking Acson with them)? One person at a time leaving to see if the pursuit splits up? Or what?

I'm going to continue following the third guy, the one who might be following the other two. See if this is, in fact, Mr White's Shadowing Snake. (Which in this case may be affiliated with an actual Dragon....) If I get an opportunity, I'd like to take pictures of each of their faces with my phone and send them to Needle. I know it's unlikely, but...

IC post up.

not sure if you guys like the idea or not, but best I got.

Gardner should be very safe from harm in a public place meeting "someone" with Eclipse close by invisible to the tails in case,
while the rest of the team cover or go to meet Laurant.

just a thought
